Today
Sing a song to praise the sun.
Sing it loud before day is done.
Sing a song to praise the moon.
It always seems to leave too soon.
Today is the fortuitous day
the little elephant is given away.
You would sadly miss
giving it a goodbye kiss.
Marching to the sound of the drum,
sounds of a monotonous thrum.
Syncopate the sound instead.
Dance to the song in your head.
Never frown for your face may freeze
and you would not be able to sneeze.
People would fear to look at you.
They'd rather see your smile come through.
Always show your best face
filled with love and glowing grace.
Life is short, my little dear,
adorn your days with gleeful cheer!
